CONTENT : IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Introduction
This installation and maintenance is intended to accompany Kelvion manufactured Air Coolers. The
coolers are made up of heat exchanger; commonly incorporating aluminium fin material and copper tube,
galvanised steel casework and axial fansets. These components will vary with application, but the product
function will remain common; to remove energy from a working fluid, generally as part of a refrigeration
system. This document is not a replacement for formal training and should only be referenced by qualified
personnel (meeting relevant regional standards). Any installation or maintenance work carried out in rela-
tion to the supplied air cooler should be in accordance to regional / national law and legislation. Additional
information and assistance can be provided by the equipment supplier or from the many Kelvion regional
offices located worldwide.
CAUTION
All work on the units must be carried out by qualified personnel. Installation and
maintenance manual must be kept with unit at all times. Ensure that instruction manual is
understood before installation Ensure working environment is suitable.
Use suitable PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) as per site regulations and as appropriate for the task.
It is the responsibility of the person performing the task and their employer to ensure that all suitable PPE
is provided and worn at all times. Detailed below is some of the suggested PPE during installation and
commissioning of the unit .

BEFORE INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
ENSURE THAT
1. The power supply is isolated before any installation or maintenance work is carried
out.
2. The voltage, working fluid and the maximum working pressure stated on the product
nameplate is suitable for the working environment.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Sharp edges on the casework of the units and coil fins are a possible cause of cuts to
fingers and hands. Appropriate protective clothing /gloves should always be worn.
ENSURE THAT:
• The proposed method of mounting is adequate to support the total operational weight of the unit. “Dry
Weights” are given on the nameplate and the product sheet.
• Nameplate Data: When further pressure tests are carried out, the pressure applied shall not exceed 1.3
times the maximum operating pressure ( PS) given on the nameplate.
• When ancillary pressure equipment, such as a receiver, is supplied on a frame with a unit, but not a pipe
to it, the parts must be treated as separate components and data taken from individual nameplates.
• Rotating blades – dangling items of clothing, jewellery or any items that could be pulled into the fan set
are a hazard . Keep safe working distance from the fan plate
3
• The fan guard should not be removed nor should the fanset be removed from the unit.
• During installation and maintenance, ensure that:
• The unit is installed and maintained by qualified personnel only.
• When pressure testing is carried out, the pressure applied shall not exceed 1.3 times the maximum
operating pressure given on the nameplate of the unit.
• The temperature of coils with vinyl-coated fins does not exceed 150°C (e.g. during brazing), as toxic
fumes would be produced.
BURN HAZARDS
1. Burn hazards from pipes and pipeline components when the heat exchanger temperature
exceeds 60°C.
2. Burn caused by refrigerant coming into contact with the skin or eyes.
2. Warranty Procedure
This warranty applies to all units detailed in the price list and, unless otherwise stated in product literature
or specific contracts, provides for a manufacturer’s guarantee of twenty four months from date of dispatch
against faults in workmanship or materials.
WHEN PROVIDING DETAILS OF THE DEFECT, PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE, IE.
• Was the unit satisfactory on delivery?
• Frequency of fault (continuous / intermittent)

5. Loading and handling
Appropriate equipment should be used to load, un-load and locate the unit in its operational location. Considera-
tion of the products size and weight should be taken ensuring that any equipment (such as fork lifts) meets relevant
national standards.
1. For transportation of unit coolers is inverted and bolted to the base of the packing case, Care must be taken while
removing the packaging and installing to prevent damage, particularly of the finned coil.
2. The drainpan is fitted to the unit (in its transit/lifting position) for transportation. Remove the draintray by
removing the four fixings and then fit the hexagonal drain connection and gasket into the hexagonal well inside
the draintray. Hand tighten this assembly using the knurled nut on the outside.
3. Refit the draintray in its transit position (fixings loose) making use of the slots in the tray so that it moves into
contact with the underside of the cooler bottom plate so that the weight is transferred directly to the chassis of the
unit when lifting into position.
NOTE: FOR INDUSTRIAL COOLERS THE POINTS DETAILED ABOVE DO NOT APPLY.

MOUNTING THE UNIT
WARNING
In case of improper installation, leak of working fluid can occur during operation of
the cooling equipment, this can lead to injuries or damage to yourself or property.
1. On all coolers mounting slots are provided, make sure the location guide is observed before you hang
the unit
2. Only fix the unit using the mounting slots provided (refer to unit dimension drawings for slot measure-
ments)
MOUNTING A TEC
1. TEC’s that are wall mounted an additional drainpan needs to be fixed to the cooler (A KIT IS AVAILABLE
SEPARATELY).
2. This is achieved by removing the panel fixing screws around three sides of the air-off face, offering up the verti-
cal drainpan and replacing the screws through the holes in the drainpan, securing it in place.
3. The blanking piece provided should be fitted in the original drain position. If defrost is required on wall mount-
ed units, refer to fitting instructions below.

7. Pipework
Pipework to and from the cooler should be suitable for:
Pipework to and from the coolers should be selected to suit the application and not the connection size of the unit.
Pipework sizes should be selected to ensure pressure drop does not exceed an equivalent of 2K at full load conditions.
Pipework should be supported independently from the cooler unit in a way that prevents the transmission of vibration
to the units. A qualified engineer should install the refrigerant pipework to a high standard of refrigeration practice. All
pipework used must be clean and to refrigeration quality, all cuts should be made using a pipe cutter, never a hacksaw,
and care must be taken to remove all burrs and swarf.
Braze using silver bearing brazing rod and ensure that all joints are cleaned before brazing. During brazing care should
be taken to ensure that all components near joints should not be excessively overheated, a wet cloth should be applied
where necessary. Dry nitrogen should be passed through the pipework during brazing to minimise oxidisation.
WARNING!
Use appropriate PPE (personal protection equipment) during pipework, refrigerant charging
and commissioning. During brazing ensure the temperature of coils with vinyl coated fins does
not exceed 150°C as toxic fumes would be produced
When brazing and leak testing are complete the suction line should be insulated with 3/4” thick Class ‘O’ insulation. The
unit has been thoroughly tested during manufacture however after on site brazing is complete all pipework should be
pressure tested for leaks to maximum of 1.3 capacity pressure
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure piping to and from the condenser is suitable for the application, although
guidance from your Kelvion representative can be provided.
Unless otherwise specified, twin section units should be connected in parallel to each other, not in series; failure to do so
will result in excessive fluid pressure drop and a corresponding loss in performance.
All pipework and fittings should be pressure tested upon installation completion in accordance with relevant regulations
or legislations. Any pressure test should not exceed the units’ maximum operating pressure or the pressure rating of any
safety devices.
On the KEC and KME the fixings at the rear of the drain tray should be loosened to allow the back of the drain tray to drop
into it’s operating position. The drain connection is 1” BSP (M) nylon on the KME and KEC and should be hand tightened
when connected to the drain. Ensure that drainline size is equivalent to that of the drain connection and that it has an
adequate fall.
The condensate pump option is only available on high temperature units as a factory fitted item or can be bought as a
spare. The Pump kits are to the DSR and LSR units. Please see below fitting instruction guides.
2. Fit the sensor to the bracket and fit pump and sensor bracket as shown in the diagram, ensuring the brackets are
pushed right down.
4. Insert the Rubber Bung in the sump drain outlet with a blunt instrument.
5. Connect the electric cable to single phase, 50Hz 230V mains supply.
NOTE
• Clean the Sump and Pump filter 1 week after installation, then at least 4 times a year thereafter.
• Pump is fitted with 3 minute (approx) run on timer, activated when float returns to bottom position.
• Pump overload must be reset by interrupting the power supply.
17
9. Storage
1. To avoid contamination and corrosion, the units must be stored in dry and clean area.
2. Storing for long periods is not recommended, but where this cannot be avoided the fan motors must
run for a minimum of 2 hours per month. Failure to do so will invalidate manufacturer’s warranty.
GENERAL
Upon receipt, the units should be visually inspected, any transport damage and / or missing parts must be
recorded on the delivery note and the manufacturer notified in writing within seven days . Please ensure:
3. Units are not portable and are only for permanent installation.
THE UNITS ARE DELIVERED WITH A 1 BAR HOLDING CHARGE (N2) WHICH SHOULD BE SAFELY RELEASED
THROUGH THE SCHRAEDER VALVE ON THE GAS INLET HEADER BEFORE REMOVING THE BRAZED HEADER
/ MANIFOLD CAPS.
1. 4. If the holding charge is not present the manufacturer should be contacted immediately.
1. 5. Units that have been packed in cardboard must be stored in a dry environment to prevent any water damage
DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION / UNIT MIS-HANDLING WILL INVALIDATE THE MANUFAC-
TURERS WARRANTY
On models TEC1, TEC2 and TEC3 an internally equalised TEV may be used. On units TEC3.5 to TEC8 an externally
equalised TEV must be used and an allowance of 1 bar for R134A and 1.5 bar for R404A, R407C, R410A and R507A
should be made for the pressure drop across the distribution system.
WARNING!
Goggles must be worn when using the test connection as there may be
liquid refrigerant in the distributor body cavity.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The performance of any system fitted with this type of distributor, can still be influenced by the TEV. When selecting a
TEV, allow for the following distributor system pressure drop.
IMPORTANT! When removing or replacing the distributor screwed cap, do not place excessive strain upon the distrib-
utor leads.
WARNING!
Before removing the distributor cap ensure that all liquid
refrigerant has been evacuated from this point by carefully
pumping the system down
If, when the coil is operating at or close to its design temperature, the TD is above normal, that is to say, the difference
between the air entering the coil and the evaporating temperature is too great (e.g. the evaporating temperature is
low), check the TEV superheat. If it is above 0.9 TD and will not respond to adjustment, it is possible that the distributor
pressure is excessive.
19
To establish the pressure drop, pump the system down and fit a service gauge to the 1/4” flare connection on the distributor
cap. Restart the system. The difference between the pressure at at the distributor and the suction pressure is effectively the
‘pressure drop’ . Using the graph below plot the pressure drop value on the requisite curve. The solid portion of the curve
represents the operating band of the device.
If the value falls outside this band, plot downwards from this point to determine the ratio. Multiply the diameter of fitted orifice
by this ratio and the resultant is the diameter of the orifice required. If the larger of the two orifices is oversize, drill out the
smaller orifice to suit. Always drill undersize then recheck the pressure drop to determine whether further enlargement is
necessary. If the pressure drop is within upper limits of the curve (solid portion) but the TEV is unstable, the orifice must be
further enlarged to bring the pressure drop closer to the normal operating point.
NOTE
AN EXTREME MEASURE CAN BE TO DISCARD THE ORIFICE ASSEMBLY ENTIRELY. IF THE PROBLEM STILL PER-
SISTS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TEV IS EITHER FAULTY, UNDERSIZED OR LACKS SUFFICIENT REFRIGERANT
LIQUID SUBCOOLING. THESE FAULTS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE ADJUSTMENTS CAN BE MADE TO THE
DISTRIBUTOR SYSTEM.

12. Evacuation
Fluid coolers using water or water-based solutions must be protected by adding anti-freeze in sufficient concentration, as it
is not possible to drain the system completely.
NOTE: THE HEAT TRANSFER PROPERTIES OF A FLUID VARY WITH THE CONCENTRATION OF ADDITIVES.
Evacuate the system in accordance with standard refrigeration operating procedures, codes and regulations

13. Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE: Ensure that
1. The power supply is isolated before any installation or maintenance work is carried out.
2. The voltage, working fluid and the maximum working pressure stated on the product name-
plate is suitable for the working environment.
If residual current or earth leakage protection devices are to be used in the supply, appropriate sensitivity levels should be
used. Up to 300 mA trip level may be required to avoid nuisance tripping, particularly with inverters. If greater protection is
required then this can be provided for individual circuits.
Electrical connection is to individual motor terminal boxes, or a unit terminal box or control panel., Wiring instructions are
provided within this document. Generally `cage clamp’ type terminals are used. Pushing a correctly sized screwdriver into
the square aperture adjacent to the conductor entry opens the terminal. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure cable
entry is fit for purpose and that where appropriate cable support is applied. Care should be taken to ensure the box IP rating
is not compromised by the electrical supply cable entry.
Conductors between 1 and 2.5mm² are accommodated. Where wiring is to a motors individual terminal box the facility for
additional casework earth points are provided. When motor wiring is routed within the unit side covers, earth studs are pro-
vided under these covers for additional earth points on the casework. All AC single-phase motors have automatic internal
overload protection, and can be used in conjunction with a high quality `triac’ type speed controller. Some three phase
AC motors are also fitted with internal thermostats, wired back to their terminal blocks (TK). Check that the fan rotation of 3
phase units is correct.
Reversing any two phases of the 3 phase AC motor supply can change the rotation. Reversing two phases of the EC motors
won’t change the rotation. In optional AC fan Contactor boxes the fan contactors are energised through these auto-reset,
normally closed, thermo¬stats. When internal thermostats are not used three phase motors MUST be protected against
overload and single phasing. Overloads must be set to cut out at FLC + 10% (FLC + 15% at -30°C) Failure to comply will render
motor warranties void.
Kelvion would recommend as general rule that each cable or group of cables will be supported at no greater than 500mm
intervals; but if national legislation recommends otherwise this should be followed. Cable size is determined by the motor
current, with the necessary duration for unit operating temperature. High Temperature cable is used where necessary. It is
the responsibility of the installation contractor to ensure the complete installation is appropriately electrically tested accord-
ing to national legislation.
TERMINATED UNITS
If no isolator is on the unit it is the installers’ responsibly to ensure appropriate isolation is incorporated within the system.
With or without unit isolation; it is the installers’ responsibility to provide over and short circuit protection for the installation.
CONTROLS
Control options are supplied according to customer specification. Individual instructions are provided to guide the setting
and use of control options. When a control option is specified, the unit will contain the necessary equipment to isolate and
provide over current and short circuit protection for the unit.

15. Defrost
Air cooling evaporators whose surface temperature is lower than the dew point of the air they are cooling will accumulate
moisture from the air. When the surface temperature is below freezing, this moisture will be deposited in the form of frost and
eventually, if left, will restrict heat transfer and air flow.
Various methods are used for the removal of frost. When the air inlet temperature is at 3°C or higher it is possible to use nat-
ural defrost by just switching off the refrigeration flow for a period. At lower temperatures heat needs to be added and the
fans switched off to prevent the heat being blown into the store. The heat can be from electrical elements passing through
or adjacent to the fin, hot/warm refrigerant gas passing through the tubes or, less commonly, water cascaded over the fins or
a warm glycol solution in a secondary system of tubes.
DEFROST OPTIONS
Hot-gas defrost can be the quickest and most efficient common method of defrost. The fact that heat is applied to all the
same surfaces that provided the cooling means that frost is melted quickly and evenly. The low temperature of the heat,
compared to electric defrost, results in less heat, in the form of steaming condensate, escaping from the cooler into the
coldstore.
HG(E)C, HG(E)D
Where there are two or more evaporators on a refrigeration system it is possible to defrost one using the hot-gas generated
in the operating of the other. This arrangement allows defrost flow to be in the same direction as cooling flow. Although this
arrangement can operate on a two evaporator system the quantity of low pressure, super heated gas is minimal, therefore it
is recommended that this arrangement is used on systems with three or more evaporators, with one evaporator on defrost
whilst the other evaporators are operational, generating the defrost heat.
The best configuration of hot gas coil and tray defrost is to ensure that the hot gas enters the tray matrix first then enters the
coil, this is arranged via the valve station supplied and fitted by the refrigeration contractor.

TIME/PRESSURE TERMINATION SYSTEM
DEFROST TERMINATION
If a defrost termination thermostat is to be fitted then the normal starting position of the defrost probe is 1/3rd of the way
along the coil face (air on) and about 2/3rds up away from any heater elements. Once the system is in operation it may be
necessary to relocate the probe to the area of the coil where ice remains the longest during defrost (possibly air off face).
These clips may be re-used but will possibly need retensioning. To avoid damage to either the coil fins or the heater cable,
the heater cable should be inserted into a similar length of 1/4” OD copper tube and fed carefully through the fins with a twist-
ing motion. With care the heater element sheaths can be curved through 90° (minimum radius 600mm) for removal and refit-
ting purposes. Before attempting to refit a heater it is essential to ensure that the coil heater hole has not become obstructed
with ice and wherever possible the coil block should be above freezing point.
Replacement is achieved by disconnecting the elements from the terminal box(es) after removing the end cover and drain
pan, and unclipping/unscrewing the heater retaining clips.
• Check that that the unit is secured in the correct manner specified in section 6. Only fix the unit using the mounting slots
provided.
• Check that the fan rotation of 3 phase units is correct. Reversing any two phases of the motor supply will change the
rotation (AC fan sets only).
18. Maintenance
WARNING!
The Unit must be Electrically Isolated before certain Maintenance Work is undertaken.
Appropriate PPE should be worn when performing maintenance procedures, adhering to specific site requirements as ap-
propriate. Any repairs to the condensers or dry cooler should be undertaken by suitably qualified personnel and relevant
national regulations should be adhered to, specifically with regards to handling of working fluids and brazing. If any advice
or guidance is required with regards to failure or repairs of Searle supplied product please contact your local representative.
Regular attention should be paid to the system operating requirements to ensure that the operating parameters are within
the products/system specifications.
WHEN NECESSARY:
Clean the fins, guards and general casework. Care must be taken when cleaning the fins to prevent damage. A soft brush
and mild detergent solution is recommended.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
• Pressure Transducer/ Pressure switches
• When removing the pressure devices safety goggles and gloves must be worn.
When starting the necessary maintenance routine please be aware of the following hazards
Keep the risk area free from The power supply is isolated before
any ignition sources any installation or maintenance work is
carried out.

19. Coil Cleaning
It is essential that the heat exchanger coil is kept clean to maintain the designed heat transfer rate. General debris such as
leaves, paper, dust and pollen can be removed using a brush, with compressed air blowing against direction of airflow (Max
pressure 3bar) or an industrial vacuum cleaner.
The fin should be brushed in the longitudinal direction of the fins with a soft brush.
Heavier greasy soiling must be removed using a high- pressure water/steam jet washer (Max pressure 3bar) against direc-
tion of airflow, at a distance of 300 to 400mm using a neutral cleaning agent if required.
The jet of the cleaner should be held vertical to the fin bank to avoid fin damage.
Any cleaning fluids should be suitable for use on both tube and fin materials, incorrect use of fluids could be corrosive
towards heat exchanger materials.
